May 1, 2015 was Beltane (The beginning of Irish Summer)

Sheboygan County CWI Branch Update

We have had a busy first 4 months of the year with our Book Discussion group, our participation in the Annual St. Patrick's Day Irishman's Walk in Plymouth, dinner and a night of music at 52 Stafford and finally the International Annual Meeting and Gathering in Madison.

I am grateful for all the help and interest in the events that we shared. Alway, of course, we hope that more of you will come. Is there anything that YOU would like to be a meeting – a speaker, an event?

We have exciting plans for May and June.

Sunday, May 17 at about 1PM, join us for cooking “school? “ at my house. (I have two ovens and a multi-user friendly counter.) We have done pasties and we have done scones. Either is fine with me – or if there is some other Celtic food that you would like to experiment with. (Perhaps Brown Bread or Soda Bread.) This meeting is always such fun. We will taste and toast with tea, coffee and perhaps EVEN Irish Coffee. I do make a mean Irish Coffee. Lets get a vote on the food we will prepare. Either respond to this email or call me at 920-893-5139 or 580-215-8484.

June 16^th, a Tuesday, will find us again celebrating Bloomsday by reading James Joyce's Ulysses from the beginning, starting at midnight of June 15^th and ending at midnight of the 16^th. I already have a reader volunteer -thank you Heather, Debbie O' Grady's daughter. We will again be using the Sheboygan Visual Artists building at the EBCO Center at 1201 Erie Ave in Sheboygan. Thank you to Tim Ebenreiter. We provide, tea, Guinness, scones and Brown Bread with Gorgonzola Cheese. A part of the ambiance. I will be designing a flyer this weekend and could use help getting it out there.

So. ARE YOU READY FOR THE RIDE.

Michael Kelly " In a land where there are no musicians; in a land where there are no storytellers; teachers and poets; in a land where there are no men and women of vision and leadership; in a land where there are no legends, saints, and champions; in a land where there are no dreamers, the people will most certainly perish.
